Dozens of Haynes Middle School parents grilled Metro Nashville Public Schools director Jesse Register about a proposal for Haynes and Joelton middle schools to share one location next fall.

Community members and parents said they're concerned that doubling the number of students at the West Trinity Lane school would take away its momentum. School officials countered that the potential change wouldn't have a major effect, as the temporary move to Haynes would not combine any classes or grades and would only be in effect for a year.

About Cold Case: Muncie

Debuting in 2010, Cold Case: Muncie is a recurring Star Press series that re-examines unsolved murders — some notable, some forgotten except to the family and friends of the victims — from the Muncie area over the past several decades.

The series, by Douglas Walker and Keith Roysdon, won the award for best news series in 2011 from the Indiana Society of Professional Journalists. An initial cold case story, marking the 25th anniversary of the Westside Park murders in 2010, won the 2011 Kent Cooper Award from the Indiana Associated Press.
